"The Living Tree" …. imagine waking up in the morning to the smell of fresh ground coffee, your eyes open as the smell enters your room. You roll over and place your feet on the floor and hear the morning sounds of birds chirping. You open your eyes to a warm earth colored room. You are surrounded with many familiar things and feel the comfort of "home".

You grab your robe and pull open the moss green door you recall as the entrance to your home. As you enter the hall, the sounds of the softly singing birds awaken you even more. Through the refreshing inspiration of a garden-like atmosphere, you will experience the wondrous exhilaration of God's creations…. you will experience "The Living Tree."

You enter the day room, which is the setting of a lakeside cabin, the peaceful setting offers a relaxing day filled with activities to keep your mind focused and busy. You eat breakfast then walk over to the porch swing where you sit and enjoy the massaging foot bath while you watch the frogs in the fountain turn. To your right you see the crackling fire in the fireplace and overhear the quiet conversation between friends.

After your feet feel refreshed, you continue your journey through our beautiful garden and our interactive work areas. A gentleman sitting in his "lazy" chair greets you. He has his feet propped up on the small stuffed black bear from the Tennessee mountains. You feet a gentle touch on your shoulder by a lady sitting with a caregiver writing a letter to her grandchildren. You start your day with a smile…..
